Sure, we might not need a sequel to 2013's Now You See Me, a film about a group of illusionists pulling a bank heist. But Now You See Me: The Second Act looks even more thrilling and impossible than the first.

The trailer features more dazzling illusions, including Dave Franco seemingly vanishing amidst a cloud of cards and Jesse Eisenberg essentially liquifying his body in a puddle. Morgan Freeman narrates the trailer as Thaddeus Bradley, incarcerated...for now, anyway.

The Four Horsemen (minus Isla Fisher, plus Lizzy Caplan) return to the stage as heroes in this sequel, this time enlisted by tech tycoon Walter Mabry. The new figure is played by the Chosen One himself -- Daniel Radcliffe. Most of the trailer is focused on visual spectacle, but Radcliffe steals the whole thing in approximately five seconds of screen time.

"Ta-da!" he declares, after botching a card trick. You'd think he'd never done magic before.

Now You See Me: The Second Act will be in theaters June 10, 2016.
